http://www.kitchendaily.com/read/best-and-worst-meats#show-gallery I recently ran across a fun article of the 10 best meats and 10 worst meats. I loved the article because it gave me a good food ideas. Here’s the thing though, I was looking at the “10 worst meats” for my healthy alternatives.

Looks like they’ve let out the list of “Top Rated Diets” and not-so-surprisingly-so, the Paleo diet ends up in last place.

Dr. Oz has been on a rampage about the dangers of saturated fat. Even with absolutely no scientific basis to stand on, Dr. Oz has still been hardheaded about his claims on saturated fat. Something really strange happened recently though. On 10/21/2013 Dr. Oz became less of an idiot. There was an awesome episode aired called […]

According to this article from The Daily News, fat chicks prefer to be called curvy women. Okay, I can understand some women don’t want to call themselves fat for whatever reason, but at least properly word it as overweight when you’re overweight. There’s a difference between an overweight girl and a girl with curves. Curvy […]
